First Semester: Promising start; Room for growth.
Placements: I have seen in the brochure and also heard from many people that many students got good placements even during their course. Many companies like Deloitte visit our college. 60% of the students got internships in good companies. The highest salary package is 25 LPA.
Infrastructure: I am not sure about the hostels as I am not a hosteler, but I heard from students that the rooms and the washrooms are maintained very well. The labs are equipped with the latest software and technology. The classrooms have the material that is required by the teachers to teach.
Faculty: The faculty quality varies, so it is difficult to explain this. If we see exams, they are challenging but fair, though frequent. The curriculum is standard with a mix of both theory and practical. The curriculum was mostly relevant and up to date. Most teachers were helpful and approachable.
Other: The best part of any course is learning new things and meeting new people. I wish there were more guidance on how to choose courses and plan for the future. Also, more practical experience would be great.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty and infrastructure not satisfied with placement opportunities.
Placements: In B.Sc there are no placements only M.Sc. students get a chance to sit in placements. The highest package is 7LPA. Placement opportunities for B.Sc. hons students are limited. There are sole internship opportunities that come every year but they do not pay that well.

Timing is 9 to 5.
Faculty: All facilities are very experienced in doing their own research work and teaching at the same time. Teaching methodology is also good. Most of the teachers curriculum is decided by teachers which is also very good but students can understand all concepts in Chemistry with each passing semester.
Other: Chemistry is like everything. I chose Punjab University because my sister recommended it to me and when I came to know about honours school system I made up my mind that I am going to study at Punjab University. There are a lot of fest in Punjab and most of the Punjabi Bollywood singers came here in February.
